Rename per my suggestion at the previous (still ongoing) discussion. Perhaps someone should close that discussion, due to the relisting? - jc37 08:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not really a relisting ... I'm just saying that this category should also be renamed to the new name. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 22:13, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete all. --RobertG ♬ talk 17:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this and all of its subcategories - Often, being a parent/grandparent is secondary to the storyline. Sometimes the character is a parent at the beginning of the storyline, but in other cases, the character only becomes a parent near the end of the storyline. This category and its subcategories are simply too broadly applied, and the articles within the categories are hardly related to each other. A discussion on Category:Fictional fathers has drawn the conclusion that the fathers subcategory is not functional. It was then suggested to delete Category:Fictional mothers to be fair. I decided just to nominate the whole structure for deletion altogether. George J. Bendo 22:36, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all There is insufficient connection between randomly selected parents for a category to be appropriate. Choalbaton 23:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These should be renamed to Alumni of the XX University so that naming style is consistent with the rest of the sub-categories under Category:Alumni_by_university_in_the_United_Kingdom. The categories that need renaming are:

Rename all The form "{something} of {the} University Name" is the most common form for UK university categories, going beyond alumni. These should renamed for consistency. Timrollpickering 21:23, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename all for consistancy. They should match the British cat, not the American one. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 23:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename all per nom and prior comments. Royalbroil^{Talk Contrib} 15:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose - why do we make category names longer than they already are? These things are too long to type out - at the very least there should be a redirect from the original category, which usually doesn't happen. JROBBO 02:38, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment There appears to be an issue of different English styles. In the UK it feels very odd to use a university's name as an adjective - note that nearly all UK categories for academics, alumni, Chancellors, colleges, people etc... are in the form "Someting of [the] University Name". Having categorised a lot of people by university I've not found these categories at all hard to type out. What has dragged things out is having to constantly check what version the alumni category is in, especially when an individual was a student and/or academic at multiple institutions.

Category:Fictional characters who love to shop to Category:Fictional compulsive shoppers

Rename, I find this category a little silly, but it is manegable with a little clean up. For one thing, it should only cover characters who shop compulsivly, not just ones who "love" doing it. I myself love buying used DVDs. Does this mean I "love to shop"? If it is felt this category is unmangable, then it should be deleted. Animedude 20:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This suffers from a POV problem. George J. Bendo 22:09, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as unnecessary. Note that not only do all compulsive shoppers not necessarily love to shop, but all people who love to shop are not necessarily compulsive shoppers. "Compulsive" implies that there is a psychological component separate from any liking of the activity, and as such the two categories are not congruent or automatically in a category-subcategory relationship. Not that either is needed. Grutness...wha? 22:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Our categories on fictional characters do tend to be the fictional counterports to are categories for historic figures. They serve to provide the depiction of particular subjects in fiction. Do we have any article on "compulsive shopping" or "love for shopping" to have this category relate to or it is just irrelevant? User:Dimadick

Delete, or split into two articles. This category is too unorganized. For one thing, it makes no disction between those who hate fictional races (those who hate klingons, etc.), and those who hate other humans of a diffrent skin tone, (those who hate blacks etc.) which is the official definition in connection with the racism page. This can be very confusing when working with works of fiction. Also, the page tends to include characters who hate humanity, who belong only in Category:Fictional characters who are opposed to humanity. Animedude 20:24, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional misogynists into Category:Fictional sexists

Merge, Redundancy. There is no need to seperated the sexist category into two diffrent categories. Also, since there are more misogynist characters than misandrist character, this one will tend to become over populated. Animedude 20:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, seems to be for UM bishops who have any connection to Ohio, regardless of whether that connection is actually relevant to their career as bishops. One of many examples from the same contributor of overcategorization that doesn't fit into the rest of the category system. Postdlf 18:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no reason to divide by state. Category:Bishops of the Ohio West Episcopal Area and LCategory:Bishops of the Ohio East Episcopal Area might be warranted, as episcopal areas are the UMC equivalents of dioceses, and those are the two in Ohio. Mairi 19:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Category:University and college chaplains. Because of the multiple meanings of "college" around the world, most such categories give "university" first placement. It grates on ears in the U.S. but is still far more clear than "tertiary educational institutions." -choster 18:38, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and cleanup parent, parent represents a greater area, or similar climatic zones. Nothing should be categorized in it.

Odd category that probably never grow beyond its one article (Sun Ra). Wafulz 04:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This looks like categorization based on the alter ego that Sun Ra created for himself. (He claims to be from Saturn.) It's humorous and worth noting on Wikipedia, but not with a category. George J. Bendo 09:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless we have objectively verifiable proof that he is in fact from Saturn :P (Radiant) 09:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete When I first saw this I thought it meant "Saturnian jazz" was like a style in the manner of Space rock or Saturnian (poetry). When I realized what it was I put it in Category:Jazz musicians by nationality to make it less visible and because at the time I was unwilling to spoil the joke. Still even if it's his belief it is a joke as a category. I'll miss it a bit, but not enough to vote keep.--T. Anthony 12:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Still is there a category or list for people who believed they are from other planets?--T. Anthony 12:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, stop anti-Saturnian discrimination =(((((((. Lankiveil 14:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Did anyone else claim to be a Saturnian? If so Category:Saturnians should be created before we specify their occupations "g"--T. Anthony 14:08, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unexpandable and a probable hoax. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 06:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's unexpandable, but Sun Ra truly did claim to be from Saturn.[1][2] There's good reason to think he truly believed this claim and in that sense it's more of an oddball belief than a hoax. However no one else seems to have claimed it so not useful.--T. Anthony 07:35, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but since this is an encyclopedia, we deal with facts rather than opinions. Him saying he's Saturnian doesn't make it so. Several convicted criminals have said they were innocent, but we nevertheless categorize them as convicted criminals. (Radiant) 08:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not foolish enough to think his claim is remotely real. I'm just saying "hoax" implies that the person is intending to trick or deceive. If that's what he was doing with the whole Saturnian thing it's a hoax. However if he actually believed he was from Saturn it's not really a hoax in the normal sense. It's something more like a delusion, like John Nash thinking the aliens had made him Emperor of Antarctica. However we wouldn't have "Category:Emperors of Antarctica" either and I voted in favor of deletion here. I'm just saying something can be false without being a hoax.--T. Anthony 09:41, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this category might actually have many potential members (all fictional, of course). Although a broader category (Extraterrestrial musicians) might be more appropriate. Xtifr _tälk 13:24, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename to Category:London Travelcard zone 1 etc. the wub "?!" 13:34, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to mention London. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 00:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion Should these not be Category:London Travelcard zone 1 etc as this would be more accurate. I am more than happy to see them renamed, I only created the last two to match the others. If everyone else prefers Category:London zone 1 etc then I don't think that would cause major problems. Regan123 00:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename to Category:London Travelcard zone 1, etc per Regan123. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 15:45, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and listify. This is not wikitravel. If kept, rename to Category:London Travelcard zone 1 etc. Vegaswikian 00:37, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Promptly delete and recreate per you guys :) Glen 01:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename zone 2 could be anything, anywhere. London zone 1 is unique to public transport, but may not be that obvious to outsiders. Secretlondon 04:18, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Alternate idea. This rename suggestion still doesn't describe what the contents of the category are. How about something like Category:London Underground stations in Zone 1? -/- Warren 06:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The zones cover Undergorund, DLR, Trams, National Rail and London Buses with "zonal" fares being placed on all train services from 2007.Regan123 12:04, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, we're not wikitravel and this is not a useful categorization. (Radiant) 11:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is a different cat compared with by borough/by type. The zones are an integral part of the transport network in London. The zones also go beyond the boundaries of Greater London into Kent, Surrey and Essex. Regan123 12:04, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This just isn't useful. If one wants to understand London's transport zones, what one needs to do it to look at a map, not a six separate lists. Osomec
Rename to Category:London Travelcard zone 1 or even Stations in London Travelcard zone 1, as this is obviously a useful way of categorising London underground stations. Tim! 17:27, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The term "station" was explicitly rejected for articles on the stops on Tramlink which come under the categories. Timrollpickering 21:18, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:London Travelcard zone 1 etc... By the way are there categories for Zones A-D? Timrollpickering 21:18, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't immediately see the benefit of having things categorized by zone - things in the list might be on opposite sides of London. I also don't think the categories are well defined. What do they cover: Tube stations, railway stations, tram stations, bus stops, shops.... If they are going to be retained we need to decide what is in the category before worrying about the name.--MarkS (talk) 08:51, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- A better name can surely be found, but I don't see an obvious problem with having things categorised by zone - things in outer zones are more suburban, things in inner zones are more well, inner. They do (to a point) share characteristics. It also makes a handy proxy for categorising things by distance for Charing Cross, which is traditional. Morwen - Talk 17:01, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not a travel guide - and this wouldn't be much help if it was. Olborne 14:37, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or rename - I can't see the harm in these categories. If a renaming is definitely needed then Category:London transport in zone x might do the trick. I prefer the current simplest naming, there does not appear to be anything these need to be disambiguated with? MRSC • Talk 17:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is an inferior way to present this information. Hanbrook 22:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't understand the problem or how using TfL's zones to categorise these stations is "inferior". The articles are also categorised by London borough. The zones are also significant (zone 1 more so than the others). Why do these have to be removed? Wikipedia is not paper, these are factually accurate and only add to the encyclopedia. MRSC • Talk 17:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but rename to Category:London Travelcard zone 1, etc per Regan123. Travelcard zones are a very useful geographic division of London, widely understod by Londoners. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 15:17, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: unencyclopedic, because Travelcard zones are imposed externally on pre-existing things to suit the current economic purposes of a commercial organisation. It's a little bit like categorising airports as Category:Ryanair destinations by adult return fare from London Heathrow. And these zones are already more usefully documented in the articles listed on the LULZones template. If kept, rename to Category:London Travelcard zone 1 etc, per others. --RobertG ♬ talk 17:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename: As per my suggestion above (this is not a duplicate vote). Regan123 22:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, See also the November 4th discussion. -- ProveIt ^(talk) 00:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename - "Australian" needs to be written second to demonstrate that it is modifying "children" and not "murdered". George J. Bendo 09:09, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per George J. Bendo Osomec 16:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per above. Cbrown1023 20:41, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename, "Australian Murdered Children" sounds as if it's a type of cooked dish. Support as per above. Lankiveil 02:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC).[reply]
Rename, as per above, the primary concept is murder, not australian. Ansell 06:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
